Our experienced teams work with commercial and retail clients in areas including Northern Quarter, Deansgate, Spinningfields, Ancoats, Salford Quays, and 5 more areas, delivering installations and services that meet current British Standards and Building Regulations.

We then provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs.

Aluminium Doors in Manchester: Local Considerations
In the residential suburbs — Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington — the independent high streets have a character that differs markedly from the city centre. These are communities where the shopfront is a long-term investment by an independent owner-occupier, and where the relationship between the installer and the client is personal. We have built long-standing relationships with businesses across these neighbourhoods, returning for maintenance, repairs, and new installations as they expand or refresh their premises.
The Northern Quarter is perhaps the most recognisable of Manchester's independent retail environments — a dense grid of Victorian warehouse conversions housing record shops, vintage clothing, specialist food retailers, cafés, and cocktail bars. Shopfronts here need to be sympathetic to the industrial heritage of the buildings whilst delivering the weather performance and security that modern retail requires. We have installed aluminium shopfronts across the Northern Quarter that use deep-reveal frames, brushed or anodised finishes rather than high-gloss powder coat, and wide-pane glazing that complements the warehouse aesthetic without reading as corporate.
Why Choose Our Aluminium Doors in Manchester
Every aluminium doors project we deliver in Manchester is backed by quality materials, experienced installation teams, and reliable aftercare.
Slim Sightlines with Maximum Glass Area
Aluminium door profiles are significantly narrower than timber or PVC-U equivalents, maximising the glazed area and natural light entering the premises while maintaining full structural integrity and weather performance.
PAS 24 Security Certification Available
Our PAS 24:2022 certified door sets provide independently verified resistance to forced entry, satisfying the security requirements of commercial insurers and giving building owners documented evidence of enhanced protection.
Thermally Broken for Building Regulations Compliance
Thermally broken aluminium profiles meet the U-value requirements of Building Regulations Part L for non-domestic buildings, ensuring energy compliance without compromising the structural performance or slim aesthetic of the door.
25+ Year Service Life
Aluminium does not rust, rot, or warp. A correctly installed aluminium door requires only periodic cleaning and occasional hardware maintenance to provide decades of reliable daily use in a commercial environment.

How It Works
From initial enquiry to completed installation in Manchester — here is what to expect when you choose Grewal Shopfront & Shutters for your aluminium doors project.
Enquiry & Consultation
Contact us with your requirements — single or double leaf, security rating, thermal specification, and colour preference. We advise on the most suitable configuration for your premises.
Site Survey
Our surveyor measures the structural opening, checks floor levels and threshold details, and notes any DDA or fire compliance requirements that affect the door specification.
Specification & Quote
We specify the frame profile, glazing, hardware, and finish, then provide a fixed-price quotation with technical drawings for your approval.
Fabrication & Installation
The door is fabricated to the surveyed dimensions and installed by our team, typically within one working day. All hardware is adjusted and demonstrated on completion.
What Does an Aluminium Door Cost?
Aluminium door pricing depends on the leaf configuration, thermal break specification, glazing type, and security rating. Below are typical installed prices for common configurations.
All prices exclude VAT. Final cost confirmed after site survey.
Aluminium Doors in Manchester — Frequently Asked Questions
An aluminium door is a standalone entrance assembly — leaf, frame, threshold, and hardware — designed to fit within a structural opening. An aluminium shopfront is a complete glazed facade system incorporating fixed glass panels, transoms, mullions, and one or more entrance doors as integrated elements. We supply and install both: standalone aluminium doors for individual entrances, and full shopfront systems where the door is part of a larger glazed frontage.
Yes. Aluminium doors can be installed into existing structural openings previously occupied by timber or PVC-U doors. The aluminium frame is fixed directly into the masonry or concrete reveal, and the threshold detail is coordinated with the existing floor level. In most cases, the swap can be completed within one working day.
Aluminium doors require minimal maintenance compared to timber. We recommend cleaning the frame and leaf with a mild detergent solution every three months to remove dirt and pollutants, lubricating the hinges and locking mechanism with a dry PTFE spray every six months, and carrying out an annual function check of the closer, seals, and weather stripping. This routine will keep the door operating smoothly for its full service life.
A standard single-leaf commercial aluminium door, fully glazed with toughened glass and multi-point locking, typically costs between £1,200 and £2,800 installed, depending on the frame profile, thermal break specification, and hardware. Double-leaf and PAS 24 certified configurations are priced higher. We provide fixed-price quotations after a site survey.
